Explore a lesser known part of WWII history Margi Preus on StoryMakers as they chat about her new book VILLAGE OF SCOUNDRELS, which is based on the true story of a village in France that sheltered Jewish children and teens from concentration camps.
In this episode, Margi asks the question, “When terrible wrongs happen in the world are we contributing to them if we do not speak out against them?”
Everything depends on a small, engraved silver box. If only Francie can follow its cryptic clues to the whereabouts of her missing mother she may finally understand the truth about who she really is. But one ominous clue after another reveal that Francie possesses something so rare and so valuable that some people are willing to do anything to get it. When her pursuit leads her into the snowy north woods, It is only to find out that she, herself, is being pursued.
